The Truckwin
Dispatch, Accounting and Management System
Shippernet.com is a web site that integrates with the Truckwin Dispatch system.
Transport Carriers view network loads at the site directly from the Truckwin
Dispatch Module. A desirable load can be marked and downloaded directly to
the pending dispatch board within Truckwin. All pertinent load detail
information, telephone numbers etc. is provided at the site. Out-of-network loads
are also provided and can be viewed by going to our free load board located at
http://shippernet.com/shippernetnonnetwork.asp Hundreds of
shippers post loads and shipments directly to the site for viewing by our national network
of transport carriers.
In addition, directly from
the Dispatch Module available equipment capacities can also be
exported 24/7 for viewing by shippers at
http://shippernet.com/viewequipment.asp
. If you are using
the Truckwin Truck Tracking Plus system a driver can also key in from a GPS data phone
any available weight and space capacities that will be posted within 15
minutes of submission.
The Truckwin Accounting and Management system has been specifically designed for
both asset based and non-asset based transportation companies. The applications
programs and the chart of accounts will work for a transport carrier, a
brokerage company, or independent agents. The Truckwin Dispatch and Accounting
System can run on an in-house system or a carrier can use an online application
at our Data Center.
The Chart of Accounts has been
specifically designed for both asset and non-asset based carriers and has been
used for over 20 years. The system of accounts breaks the accumulation of
transportation costs into five
significant cost categories that have behavioral patterns uniquely found only in
the truckload transportation industry. The objective of this system design is twofold:
The Truckwin General Ledger
integrated system and related
financial statement reports accomplish the first objective. Financial
reports generate historical balance sheets and income statements for
multiple months and years. In addition an income statement reports are generated on
a percentage of revenue and on a revenue per mile basis for multiple months and years.
This financial information
is used to accomplish the second objective. Our proprietary
Nickel Per Mile Profit Program.
This program designed for owners and management concentrates on providing network carriers with the
per mile cost data, accounting ratios, decision analysis and managerial concepts that target
improved financial performance. Performance designed to generate a nickel
or more profit per mile after tax and a return on invested capital of 20% or
more.
To accomplish these two objectives the Truckwin
chart of accounts has five separate costs classifications that are specifically designed to
yield significant financial decision-making information. Using these five
categories a number of key management decisions are gleaned from the financial
information. Key decision making information can be determined using the
program. Decisions and answers to questions such as:
What are my over the road line haul costs?
What are my transportation
margins?
What are my fixed line haul costs?
What are my shop costs?
What does it cost to administer my operations?
How many miles must we run to breakeven?
How much revenue do we need to generate per mile
to breakeven?
What are my variable transport costs per mile?
How much is it costing us to run an empty mile?
How much revenue do we need to breakeven?
Generate a targeted profit?
How much before tax? After state and federal
taxes?
If I change my deadhead mile ratio, how much
difference will it make in my transportation margins? My profit?
If I add an additional truck, what effect will
it have on my bottom line?
How will it effect my operations to stop serving
a customer?
What will it take to cash flow an additional
truck?
What is my return on invested capital?
What are the key ratios and which ones should I
be concerned about?
How can I make a quick calculation of the cash
flow I am generating from my operations?
How should I structure the financing of my
tractors and trailers?
When should I consider adding a shop facility?
When should I add a dispatcher?
